People Success - Business Partner.

Embedded Growth Engineer: Turning People Signal into Business Velocity, One Squad at a Time.

What are we looking for:

Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. People work, done right, isn't a policy desk - it's how a business builds the capability to win, not just a function that keeps the seats filled.

- Sees the org chart as a draft, not a deed - happy to redline it when the business moves.

- Moves at the pace the business needs, not the pace of a policy-review cycle.

- Builds trust once, so it holds under an investigation - not trust you have to rebuild every quarter.

- Comfortable being the reason someone has their best year, not just the reason they stay.

- Thinks in systems: this hire, this coaching cadence, this succession bench, for years - not just this headcount request.

This Isn't for Everyone:

But if you've ever sat in a performance review and thought about the six months of coaching that made it inevitable - not just the rating on the form - we'd love to chat with you.

Your Mission: The Role:

Solving for better. You own the people-side of the P&L for every leader you sit with - not as an advisor who leaves the room when the hard call arrives, but as the one who makes the call sharper.

Your Responsibilities:

1. Own the People P&L (Strategic People Partnership):

- Sit inside your business unit's real operating cadence - workforce planning, org design, restructuring calls - as a principal in the room, not a note-taker invited after the decision is made.

- Own the succession bench for every business-critical role in your unit: know who's next, always, before it's a crisis.

- Close capability gaps early enough that leaders are building their bench, not scrambling to backfill it - retention is a side-effect of this, not the goal itself.

2. Build the Signal, Not Just the Survey (Data-Driven People Analytics):

- Build and own the dashboards that surface what's actually happening in your unit - performance distribution, skill-gap heatmaps, engagement, attrition signal - not what the annual survey says happened six months ago.

- Turn every dashboard into a specific, owned action with a name and a date attached.

- Design the people programs and policies your data actually justifies, not the ones that were inherited.

3. Contain the Fire, Don't Just Report It (Employee Relations & Compliance):

- Run employee relations investigations start to finish - fair, thorough, and documented well enough to survive scrutiny from Legal, not just from the employee handbook.

- Partner with Legal to keep every jurisdiction you touch compliant by design, not audited into compliance after the fact.

- Own case resolution cycle time as a real metric.

4. Coach Leaders, Not Just Employees (Performance & Growth):

- Run a real coaching cadence with your leaders - not an annual calibration meeting, a standing habit that moves how they manage.

- Own your unit's career-growth and internal-mobility numbers as a metric you're accountable for, not a talent-team statistic you cite.

- Deliver policy, contract, and compensation guidance that's accurate enough that Legal and Finance don't have to redo it behind you.

Experience & Relevance:

- 3 - 7 Years, Business-Partner Core: Progressive people experience with the majority spent as a people business partner or in a strategic, business-facing role - not a Centre-of-Excellence-only background.

- Owned an Investigation, Start to Finish: You've personally run an employee relations case through to a recommendation that held up under legal review.

- Cross-Border Fluency: Experience supporting a multi-jurisdiction or globally distributed workforce, comfortable with the compliance variance that comes with it.

- We are looking for people exclusively from Tier 1 HR colleges like TISS, SCHMRD and XLRI.

Bonus Points:

- The 'Psychology' factor: If you have a bachelors degree in Psychology, it is a super plus.

- The 'Builder' Bias: You have a GitHub repo, a side project, or a history of building your own tools to solve repetitive problems.

- Horizontal AI Experience: You've already tried to automate a real-world process like Claims, Invoicing, or Onboarding using AI.

- Startup Grit: You've worked in an environment where you had to wear multiple hats and solve for '0 - 1' problems.

- Public Technical Presence: You've written blogs, spoken at meetups, or contributed to documentation in the Cloud/AI space.
